Normy ...sorry i missed  keeping in touch...now that im on a "remember tour'...I just missed you .....you were a great guy and a wonderful childhood friend !...I am so sad 

I already miss you Norm!  You were a great friend, and even though we have lived far apart for many years, we always found time to talk for an hour or so on the phone.  My life will be lacking a great guy.
Surely they have a race track where you are going. Have fun my friend.

Norman was a dedicated Ohio state and Cleveland Indians fan (even after being taken from the stands on a stretcher). He loved his family and we knew he would do anything for us. At times he could be sarcastic and opinionated and those conversations about politics, life and world events will be remembered fondly.  He loved chips, chocolate and vodka and always kept a healthy supply amongst other items such as toilet paper and tuna fish at home.  

Norman was a rule breaker, which I loved as a kid. My mother had very strict rules, don’t stay up late, no sweets, no R rated movies.  Well let me tell you at about 11 years old I stayed the week with grandma Paula and norman and all the rules were broken. Grandma Paula brought me to the mall and to the store to load up on candy. Me and norman picked out an R rated movie to see against my parents wishes and Paula’s.  Me and norman had a blast at the movies and made the mistake of telling my parents the title of the movie. As any protective and caring  parent would my mother looked up that movie to see what it was about. Once she saw some of the content she was slightly mad and called my grandmother. Later that night me and norman laughed and laughed about the movie and he let me stay up an extra hour just because we were laughing so hard as my moms reaction. He was a great man and was a great grandfather In so many ways. He always  made time for our events and to make sure we were all okay.  Every graduation, every birthday, he never missed a beat I’m sure my grandma helped a tad! We will surely miss you deeply norman and pray your in a better place. Thank you for watching me grow up and being so great to all of us cech kids.  We love you with all our heart.
